    From what I've seen, he alternated between the blackie Stratocaster and the Explorer in the 80s, during the Elevation era he stuck to his 'Splorer from what I gather. I could easily be wrong about this though.
  2. No, indeed he used mainly theGibson Explorer he used for I Will Follow throughout the tours. The famous one:



    Love that guitar. Someone here was given one like that by his girlfriend... Maaannn I want one

    Mostly the Explorer from what I've seen. I will have to investigate a bit more... but every time I've seen him play it or seen any footage of Edge playing that song... It's been the Explorer.

    Video of 11 o'clock tick tock with the Explorer

    Berlin 1981


    NY 1981


    Hattem 1982


    Red Rocks 1983



    Black Strat
    Rockskilde 1982


    As you can see... overwhelmingly, "11 O'clock Tick Tock" seems to have been played on the Explorer

    Partially true. The Edge has used the Explorer for "I Will Follow" more often than not but...


    Actually, Edge used the yellow Clapton for "I Will Follow" during the Love Town tour:



    And the auctioned 1975 Les Paul Custom during Pop Mart:


    Also used what appear to be the 1973 Les Paul Custom at Geleen, Holland,1981



    EDIT
    Seems he used the Les Paul on The Electric Co. during Geleen too - probably happy to be using a new toy.

    T'is my former girlfriend (still best friend) Melissa that bought me my 1976 Gibson Ltd Ed. Explorer - same make, model and vintage as our guitar hero.

    That is the crown jewel of my guitar collection.

    Well, we could use the word "just" here...it all depends on the girlfriend. Some girls make an explorer look worthless
